Coach, A friend at the club just sold to me (or should say practically gave me) a Butterfly Amulart blade with 2 Srivers on them. He says that the blade needs a softer sponge on it to be really effective. Any suggestions. I was thinking of one of the newer Tibhar rubbers; not sure about other side. By the way I am ambidextrous so it really doesnt make any difference as far as forehand or backhand is concerned. Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve

Hey Steve,
The Butterfly Amulart blade is quite a stiff bat, best used for offensive play style (not to mention expensive as well!)
I have an offensive bat from DHS made out of pure koto wood 7ply and have DHS rubbers on it.
Depending on your level of play, I would suggest:
Yasaka Mark V (Soft/non tacky)
Tenergy 80 (med-soft/non tacky)
Donic Barracuda (soft/non tacky)
Stiga Calibra LT sound or spin (soft/nontacky)
Andro Rasant F(soft/nontacky)
LKT XT (very soft/tacky) - (if you are heavy spinner as your bat would slightly balance out the speed compromise)
Those rubbers are what springs to mind when talking about soft.
Good luck and have fun!
Alex
